I want to have one "bad" flag. This is the least offensive thing I could think of. It's only ONE flag. You can still shoot and move normally.
Maybe I should put a bouncy flag instead?

CORRECTION:
The name is Win Siphon {WS} ... I've been calling it by the wrong name.

I always had problems if the ground was completely covered by objects. BZFS could not place flags properly if there was not a small sliver of ground visible to the sky somewhere.
This may have been fixed since I tested it long ago.

If either player does not have the three necessary wins (kills) or losses (deaths) to add or remove, nothing happens.
It's a +1 and a -1, the same as a no-flag kill.

At next restart we will lose the triple-point flag. Which I always called TP, toilet paper.

Twenty-One Has Begun! POINT SIPHON Is the Thief flag for points! Coded by Zehra The new Point Siphon flag not only steals their wins, it takes away your losses. The killed player gets Minus 3 in their win column, while The killer gets three deaths removed from their loss column. Also, there is one p...

I tried converting to drawinfo, and that shows on normal radar too.

macsforme is correct. In my experience, unless you use all six "side" matrefs, none of them function. top bottom inside outside startside endside Or, just use a single matref, without any "sides" Either one of these two should work. meshbox position 0 0 0 rotation 45 size 80 80 8...

Very sorry about your mistaken ban. However, I say it over and over, If you plan on instantly rejoining, wait until you are dead before leaving, and this will never happen. The alternative is people constantly F12'ing to avoid geno which is far worse than the occasional misfire, meaning we have to t...

Each shot costs one point.
Each kill earns 7 points.
Flag goes away after 7 seconds.
You could shoot about 8 shots in that time.

The One Bad Flag Stays.
Use it right, and it's a good flag.
It replaced "The Fifty", which was too overpowered.

It does. Flag capture bounties are calculated at time of team-flag PICKUP. Team ratios at time of capture mean nothing. Team ratio at time you PICKED UP the team flag is everything. So leaving while someone is about to capture your flag does not hurt them. Also, If you pickup a team flag and teams a...

Knottyman, the F12 plugin has never been perfect, but it has performed it's intended purpose. Few times do players F12 to keep from being geno'd. At least much fewer than it was in the past. The price we pay is the occasional false positive. It banned me once. If you intend to rejoin, wait until you...

Thank You Kierra.
When I looked at it, way down at the bottom of the page it said,,,,

lkjhg, Do you mean the mountains? This new map file is 98% the work of WHAMMO! I only added a few touches for the MoFo look and feel. I am very happy with the result. He gave me what I asked for, "the same but different", if that makes any sense. But WHAMMO! gave his baby up for adoption, ...

Whammo! Has been using Sketch... the textures will most likely be changed...
keep your eyes open and you might see a preview server soon.

Howabout....
The rabbit is the only one who can jump?

It doesn't count on apocalypse. Too many bounties.

ONE THOUSAND ONE!
That's my post count on the forum.

DeathZone spawn zones removed. though I have never heard anyone articulate what's so great about random spawns. I had to have something new for 2020, and when I added these, it took over an hour for anybody to even notice. I thought, "great" I modified it after a few weeks, and removed it ...

Super Surprised that no one has found the hidden zone. I told exactly one player where it is.
Probably the players who know about it are keeping it a secret.

Trying to figure out how to adjust the zones around the Suntrust Tower.

Some changes...
6 goes to 8
8 goes to 6
7 goes to 9
9 goes to 7

This should make the GM camping extremely difficult, because last week your kills would respawn right in front of you.
Now they spawn behind you.

I don't know how I got promoted to the rank of "Special Forces", I always thought it was more like "He sure is [special] alright". but I hereby nominate iObserve to be promoted to the rank of "Captain Obvious" Right now I'm thinking two things. Die in Box 6, spawns in B...

I Have a new plugin. It allows me to control where you respawn, based on where you die. You probably noticed my first experiment with it last week. I have now refined the concept. Here's how it's set up right now, we will see how it works out. I reserve the right to change it at any time. http://ima...

Abbreviations to fly above zoned flags, indicating which flag is underneath. All the good flags, most plugin flags, no bad flags. They Spin! Fully Drawinfo. Meaning no collisions. If we had billboarding I'd use it. Each abbreviation built with it's center at point 0 0. Move them around with the prov...

There can be only one Apocalypse. Will never be another.
I am working on something for twenty twenty. viewtopic.php?f=66&t=20361&p=177772#p177772
The action there is to allow players to choose their own weapon.... The DMZ is a new concept.
